Stargate Superdrive - Tweet Storms - December 6th & January 25/26

[ScifigirlSG]

Depening on where your friend was located, I can tell you that from the list of countries available on Tweeples, only France and Australia managed to accomplish that.

The USA stranded on number 2.

Given that Joe is essentially a retired writer of a sci-fi show 20 years old, I'd say hitting ANYTHING trending was worth it.

We want more stargate, but the question is, what does MGM want.

[Platschu]

I have read a few comments here and there. It is nice to see how many people love this franchise.

Let's see if anything happens on MGM side, but I am still sceptical. I still believe it should be a monthly or quaterly feature if we want to push them.

You know what would be better than a 4th series? If they would announce a 5th as well.

It was fun while it was running, but then the next day, the clown running the @StargateNow account felt the need to hop on Twitter and snidely berate people who tweeted 'wrong.' Really turned something fun into a sour taste in the mouth.

The tweets have since been deleted, but they were enough. I'd love new Stargate on TV, but as long as that a-hole is leading the charge to try to publicize that desire, I will not be participating in any further initiatives.

What has happened? Has somebody mentioned the "extension" word again?

It was nice to see such concept art from JM, what I haven't seen before. They should release them in a book version.

Not sure what you meant by that, and since the offending tweets have been deleted, I can't paste direct quotes, but it was a series of comments to the effect of

"despite asking you to only do x, people didn't listen"
"x number of people did y, we know who you are"
"we told you not to do this, but you didn't listen so we got [marginally less] traction than last time"
"some of you don't have your location turned on, so you screwed up the metrics"

After getting really called out hard in the replies, they deleted the offending tweets and instead commented "Decided to delete all the posts that are causing people to get upset. Me trying to explain why it is important is not going over well, so I'm going to stop" -- again, pointing fingers at others like they're the problem in this equation. (Never mind that the original condescending tweets didn't bother to 'explain' anything, they were just accusatory, and 'explanations' were only offered defensively in replies calling this account out).


I have no idea who's running the account, but they really showed their true colours after the "tweet storm," and it's not someone I'm interested in associating with ever again.

[Platschu]

I was worried they have started a flame about the SG:C app again. Thanks for the explanation. I have never been active on Twitter, so I am sorry if I have sounded a bit noob and unexperienced.

Maybe MGM should have bee tagged as well. It is nice they have added BW and JM, but thy are not in deciding position as only MGM can make such move.

And for those who can read French - which, for the record, is not me - there is also this article. Sure, I can't read it. But I'll take what I can get.

I agree, it was very uncalled for and to be quite honest, very unprofessional. When I was reading them I questioned for a minute if this person was legitimate or not. Yes, I’m sure it was frustrating, but people showed up regardless, you should be praising that, not throwing a hissy fit over it.

The "team" may have deleted several posts, but here's the one about the 9 -- yes NINE -- people who (accidently) started tweeting the hashtag minutes too early.

I, especially, liked how this reply says it all (and I had a different one in mind that would have been less "polite"):

"Could this kind of analysis not have waited until the run up to the next event/tweet storm? Now is the time for thanking people for participating not alienating people by telling them off. I understand certain things upset the algorithm but you can't change that."

Add to that the wonderful hole they have been digging themselves into talking about how "...only France trended..." last time they did a tweetstorm which included most of Europe, and basically told the Europeans that we're simply not good enough cause we can't make it trend. They only care about "winning" the trend. Should see their numbers posts...

Maybe it should be pointed out to them that North-America is responsible for the cancellation of Stargate Universe.

I have to say after Tom going off his rockers and now this -- hell no, I'm giving them a third chance to make up for their entitled bullcrap. They've been acting hostile before the storm and they apparently continue to do so after it.

It was nice to see such concept art from JM, what I haven't seen before. They should release them in a book version.

That would be cool.

I have no idea who's running the account, but they really showed their true colours after the "tweet storm," and it's not someone I'm interested in associating with ever again.

It's run by few different people as a team.

Anywho... I've been eyeing their behavior in the last couple of days, like I said above, and they have made a very disrespectful impression towards fans that are not favorable to the cause. Hate to break it to them, but it's not us who have to keep a potential new show alive, and I have no qualms pointing that out to them next time I come across to their whinings.

Not gonna block them, but not gonna follow again either.

[Platschu]

Oh I see. Thanks for the extra infos as I couldn't really follow what is going on. I am guessing this Stargate Now must be connected some producers / SG:C leadership so they feel encouraged to act like moderators.

[Elite Anubis Guard]

I'm sorry to hear of some poor attitude from the guy running Stargate_Now. Obviously it's understandable to want everyone to be doing it "right" so it counts towards the goal, but as with everything you've got to deal with it in a mature and reasonable manner. Sorry to hear he didn't do that and has tarnished the efforts.

Unfortunately I didn't get involved due to the timezone issues, but I'm glad it has done so well and got the Deadline mention. Again, we're waiting for MGM to make the next move.

Not directly but they do have the Mallozzi blessings...

Again, we're waiting for MGM to make the next move.

As I didn't see a single post, mention or anything else from @StargateCommand, I doubt MGM's gonna be acknowledging the storm.

I'm rather inclined to say that if North-America doesn't get an acknowledgement, it's pointless to do a second one in January with the audience that is mostly just along for the ride.

[Platschu]

Thousand of fans were tweeting, but less than a dozent fans have bothered to show up here on GateWorld. I believe it is a bit sad that this forum is so abadonned.
